I think Sasha Abt has played hockey...and there was that cute quote in his interview, when he was asked if he could have his career over again, would he change anything - he said he'd have been a hockey player!!

Yeah, I remember that interview with Sasha-and I'm very glad that he decided to keep to skating. I really can't imagine as a hockey player anyway

Artur Dmitriev also played hockey. I remember an interview with him saying he would rather be a hockey player at first, but his family wanted him to be a skater because it was THE sport in the USSR. Like Sasha, I'm very glad that he stuck to skating. And maybe he originially didn't want to be a skater-but watching his passion on the ice, I say few can deny that he loves the sport of ice skating.

They did a fluff piece on Nancy at the 1992 Olympics and mentioned it. They even showed a clip of her playing hockey. She said that ice hockey was actually her first love, but "they didn't have girls' teams back then."

Thanks. Now maybe she and Tonya can go head to head in a hockey face off.
